Both the Maroon and Gold pom teams from James Hart School in Homewood earned first place finishes at the Chicagoland Dance Championship on January 21. The competition, hosted by the Universal Dance Association, was held at the UIC Forum in Chicago.

“This is the culminating competition for our girls — our ‘state,’” Pom Teams sponsor Amanda Townsend said. “However, it’s much bigger. Schools from as far away as Toronto compete. The fact that both of our teams are champions of their categories is a very big deal.”

The Maroon Team won in the “pom” category and the Gold Team won in the “hip hop” category.
